About the venue
Finca Santa Fe, Coín
Finca Santa Fe is a family-run Andalusian finca of about 100 years at the top of the Guadalhorce Valley, 10 minutes from Coín and 30 minutes from Málaga airport, Marbella and La Cala de Mijas. Weddings are all-inclusive and exclusive, with a blessing in the gardens, cava and canapés, a four-course dinner under a stretch tent by the pool and a DJ, for up to 120 guests, and the British-run team plans everything in-house. Six bedrooms sleep 12, and packages start from €10,450 for a one-day wedding for 50 guests or €14,850 for a three-day wedding.
Santa Fe sits high above the Guadalhorce Valley on the road from Coín to Monda, looking across the countryside to the mountains. The whitewashed house is around a century old, was a well-loved restaurant for more than 15 years and has been a family home for over a decade. It stands in more than 6,000 m² of gardens with lawns, fountains, scented Mediterranean planting, a covered courtyard dining area, a large pool and a hot tub.
Ceremonies are blessings led by the finca's own celebrant, held in the gardens with views down the valley to the mountains. Guests then have cava and canapés in the courtyard before a four-course wedding breakfast, with half a bottle of wine each, under a stretch tent on the lawn by the pool. A DJ plays into the evening and a supper buffet follows.
Weddings are hosted personally by the family, who have worked in hospitality in the UK and Spain, and every booking includes full planning: celebrant, photographer, flowers, décor, music and guest concierge. All food is cooked in-house by the finca's British award-winning chef, and there is an outdoor bar with staff.
The three-day package turns the wedding into a weekend: a welcome evening, usually at a private terrace at the Alhaurín Golf Resort nearby, the wedding day, then a pool party and live barbecue on the third day. The house has six bedrooms, five en suite, sleeping 12 on a bed-and-breakfast basis, and other guests stay in Coín, Alhaurín or on the coast.
